Vol 42 Chapter 15: :out of expectation

With the pen nib across the paper, there was a brushing sound. Liz, who was reviewing the documents, was like a reviewing machine incarnate with emotions, with a look that she knew nothing and couldn't see anything.
"If I haven't seen you for more than two months, have you arranged a secretary for yourself?"
Speaking to Sin Yas, who threw a dried fruit in his mouth, this guy was as natural as he was at home, after all, he had a thick skin.
"White night, are you looking for me this time?"
Sin Yass began to understand and pretend to be confused, as did Wood on the side.
"..."
Su Xiao didn't answer. For a while, the atmosphere was a bit awkward. It is worth mentioning that Bubwang, Eminem, and Baha seemed to have thought of this a long time ago, so they slipped away in advance.
"Don't be so nervous, Wood, this is your fault. Bai Ye has been looking for the location of Silent City, but you are hiding in the dark. Is this really good?"
Sin Yass looked at Wood with a slightly disgusting and contemptuous look. Wood didn't say a word, but he said in his heart, if it is shameless, I am willing to bow down to you.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm different from you. I hide in the dark to find opportunities. Before, I asked my daughter to assist Bai Ye. If you don't believe me, ask him."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't say a word, and was accustomed to Sin Yas's acting style.
"You are so shameless."
Wood couldn't hold back the exit.
"Fart! I call it a plan."
Sin Yass was still calm, didn't know, and thought that he had made too much contribution to the search for the Silent City.
"The past is not important, I've turned it over, after we discuss it."
Sin Yass turned off the topic, he put away his half-joking tone, and his expression gradually became serious. First he turned his head to look at Wood, and after making eye contact with each other, both of them looked directly at Su Xiao, Sin Yas said:
"White Night, this time we two, one was sent by the elders, and the other was here to represent the interests of the ethnic group. You must already know the purpose of our coming. It is reported that a black tree appeared in the Root Cause·Dead Silent City. maple."
Speaking of this, Sin Yas paused, tapped his finger on the table twice, and continued: "Now it is not only the Falling Star and the Devil Race, but also the Arcane Eternal Star, the Feather Race, and the Witchcraft Guild. People come, no need to say more about the purpose."
At this point, Sin Yass said with a strange expression: "I have read all the information about this matter, but I feel that this matter...a bit familiar, no, not a bit, but a very familiar flavor. ."
Sin Yas touched his chin, looking thoughtful.
"In Shusheng World, this is how we lead people to die in Bay City to help us share the risk."
Wood explained the mystery, Sin Yass patted the table casually, and said: "Yes, the same technique, but this time it is more thorough, White Night, this matter...it was not your plan, I remember, you always The armguards I wear come from Silent City."
"..."
Su Xiao twisted the [sacred divider] in his hand, studying this wonderful thing, it seemed that he didn't listen to what Wood and Sin Yas said.
Frankly frankly everything? Of course not, Wood and Sin Yass, one represents the Devil Race, and the other came here by the orders of the elders. If they confess now, the two of them will definitely not come to Taiwan. What should they do afterwards? All the resources to enter this world are consumed, but after the result comes, I learn that this is a game set by ‘good teammates’. How to explain to the tribe or elders?
But if it is completely concealed, then it is impossible to cooperate in the future. Cooperating with these two ‘good teammates’, during which they can calculate with each other, and finally fight due to uneven distribution of the spoils, but at the beginning of the cooperation, it is absolutely not possible to conceal key information.
Therefore, Su Xiao should not bluntly say that this was his plan, and at the same time let Wood and Sin Yas know in their hearts that this is the situation in which he arranged it, the same as the three people arranged in Bay City.
Su Xiao took off the Black King's armguards, screamed, and put the metal armguards on the table. Seeing this, Sin Yas took it and felt it for a moment. Only the characteristics of the deadly silence above were sensed, but with the deadly city. , And not so direct contact.
This is the dark world, the origin of the Silent City. It is not difficult to sense whether an item is related to the Silent City, especially the ancient gods like Sin Yas.
After discovering this, Sin Yas was suspicious, and he handed the armguard to Wood. Wood felt for a moment, and the flames of his pupil condensed a little, and he seemed to be a little confused.
I want to use the Black King's Armguard to spy on the cause and effect of Su Xiao and the Root, Dead Silent City. Of course it is impossible. The Black King's Armguard is at most a link. What really makes this cause and effect appear is Su Xiao's repeated use of Dead Silence.
Before, even if you entered the branch·Silence City, you must carry the [Refuge Stone] with you to avoid being attacked by the [Refuge Stone] while slowly consuming the [Refuge Stone].
The ability of the Black King's Armguards "Death Comes" is basically to drag part of the environment of the Dead City over and attack the enemy with deadly energy.
In other words, if there is no [Refuge Stone] to enter the Root Source·Dead Silent City, it is no different from entering the realm of "Death Coming".
"Dead Silence (Ultimate Suit Ability·Active): After this ability is activated, the city will be assimilated by Silent City at high speed within 600 meters, causing erosion damage of 5% to 23% of the maximum HP limit per second. If the enemy unit is enveloped in Death Silence Moving within the range, the erosion damage and erosion speed will be greatly increased (erosion damage and erosion speed increased by 2 to 6 times, depending on the enemy's physical attributes and movement speed)."
Right now Wood and Sin Yass only sensed the Black King's Armguards, of course they couldn't see the clues.
"Could it be that you were also attracted by intelligence?"
Sin Yass still had some suspicion in his eyes.
"Yes."
Su Xiao took out a photo, it was the one he took. Many dead people seemed to be holding black trees in the air, but this was not a re-enacted photo, but an original photo.
There is the original photo, and the meaning of this is particularly obvious. It is almost impossible to say that the photo that best proves the root of the black maple tree in the dead city was made by Su Xiao himself.
Sin Yass was about to take the photo, but Su Xiao raised his hand and gave the picture to Wood. The reason is that the Falling Star where Sin Yas is located is not known for technology, and the void where Wood is located is extremely technologically advanced. According to Wood’s experience, there is a high probability that the difference in this photo can be seen at a glance.
After Wood took the photo, as soon as he took the photo, he paused, and inadvertently said: "It's still the white night that has the means to get the first version of the photo."
Hearing this, Sin Yas understood everything, and his smile was a little strange at this time, as if the whole person was not very good.
"The black maple tree in Dead Silent City, I personally feel that it is not very reliable."
As Wood spoke, he seemed to sigh low.
"Don't worry about it being unreliable, it's all here. If we don't get some good things in Dead Silent City, we will lose a lot, but I heard that Dead Silent City has many artifacts from the age of gods."
Sin Yass’ words were actually revealing that he already knew that the black maple tree in Silent City was fabricated by Su Xiao, but it is already here, and Su Xiao did not conceal the black maple tree’s false information. Under the premise, of course, it is necessary to join hands to make a fortune in the Silent City.
Wood's thinking is that the matter is over, and it doesn't make sense to pursue the losses that have been fooled. Even if it is pursued, what can be done? Fight with Su Xiao? and then? What are the benefits of this? It is better to find a way to make a fortune in the Silent City, and then divide the spoils among the Hui people. That is the way to bring real benefits to the elders and juniors in the clan.
As for the final uneven distribution of spoils, this will have to be discussed after the plan is successful.
Caesar, who was sitting at the side, remained silent. This was very cunning. He was also one of the arrangers of the "fake black maple incident," but he pretended that nothing happened.
The foundation for cooperation has now been laid, and what to do next is the focus.
"Baja."
As soon as Su Xiao's voice fell, Baha suddenly appeared and fell on his shoulders, saying: "This is how things are, the Wadi family incident, you all know, do you need me to introduce you?"
"No need to."
"I know all important information."
Both Wood and Sin Yass expressed their views. Seeing this, Baha nodded and continued:
"After the old monster died, the situation in the high wall city became clear. Now we want to find the entrance to the dead city. We must meet two points. 1. Get the exact location of the entrance from the academic side, and 2. figure out how to enter.
The second point has been prepared, the goddess is upstairs, there will be time later, and she will ask her how to enter and open the entrance to the dead city. "
After listening to Baha’s brief narrative, both Wood and Sin Yas knew the problem at hand. As long as the academics were dealt with, the follow-up focused on the Root, Silent City.
"Give me... two days."
Sin Yass suddenly spoke, and he was originally prepared to discuss a plan to get the Stigma Academy to put on Su Xiao and Wood, who were wearing pain masks. They were surprised.
"What kind of assistance do you need?"
Su Xiao looked at Sin Yas suspiciously, and really didn't guess what this guy had planned.
"You don't need any assistance, you are waiting for my good news..."
In the middle of Sin Yas's words, a shout came.
"Where is Lord Goddess!"
A voice with a bit of sharpness and more anger came and turned.
Boom!
The windows of the office were shattered and glass shards were splashing in all directions. A girl with a ponytail and sharp temperament... No, it should be a teenager who leaped in and fell to the ground in a squatting position. This teenager has the same looks as Liz. One fight.
This person is one of the guards of the goddess, and he agreed to wait for the goddess at the tea party to complete the handover of the guards. After waiting for a long time without waiting for the goddess, he later learned that the goddess had been abducted by the treatment center.
Under the fire of several stigmata college instructors, this young man, Zekaya, came to rescue the goddess.
Zekaya came to rescue the goddess, naturally relying on it. According to the lock of his companion, the goddess was nearby, so they split up. He deliberately rushed to Kukulin White Night’s office and dragged the other side. At the same time, his companions will take the opportunity to rescue the goddess, perfect!
Although Zekaya thought he was not the opponent of the vice-president of the treatment center, it was okay to hold the opponent for a while.
In the office, Zekaya stood up and looked directly at Su Xiao. As the saying goes, the plan has not changed quickly. Zekaya is a bit wondering who the other three people are sitting around the desk at this time.
Zekaya's perception was fully opened. In the next moment, he saw a scene that he will never forget. Opposite him, a huge skull with a dark but burning green flame smiled at it. It felt like he was going to The soul pulled out and sank into the dark, claustrophobic bottom of never sky.
On the side, there seems to be a humanoid tentacle monster, the kind of treacherous and dark feeling from the depths of the soul, just looking at it, it seems that people are all suffering from spiritual erosion, it seems that in the next second, he will be stunned. Seeing this existence, a large number of black tentacles burst out of his body, and finally wailed his reason evaporating.
A little behind, there seemed to be a huge blood beast half-hidden in the darkness. It seemed cold and grinning. Zekaya had a feeling that this was the most dangerous.
On the far right, turbid yellow and deep black are entangled. Half of this existence feels not threatening, while the other half makes people tremble physically and mentally.
With a grunt, Zekaya swallowed. His thoughts at the moment were, it was a good one.
After a while.
"Woo! Woo!"
Zekaya was tightly bound by the black tentacles born on his back. He twisted on the ground like a caterpillar, his eyes angry.
The spatial fluctuations disappeared in a flash, Su Xiao appeared, he just went to the fourth floor, the attacking Zekaya was just a smoke bomb, and someone else rescued the goddess.
With a plop, Su Xiao threw a masked woman bound by the broken line on the floor.
The black smoke rushed into the window. The next second, Wood appeared, carrying a bound masked girl in his hand. From the point of view of body size, the two masked girls were very similar, perhaps a pair of twin sisters.
After a while, Ms. Marina knocked on the door and walked in, carrying a famous man on her shoulder, the driver and who drove the goddess before.
As the saying goes, the family is neat and tidy, and the goddess is in a similar situation right now. Her four guards were neatly caught.
"Which person is this, so stunned?"
Sin Yass laughed, not mocking, but the so-called rescue plan, which is really fascinating.
The four people who had been captured were all taken to the dungeon on the third basement level of the treatment hospital. Recently, the dungeon just happened to be empty, and now a group of residents are welcomed again.
Regarding the current situation, Su Xiao roughly understood the attitude of the saint's line. It seemed that they sent people to rescue, but in fact they sent three silly people, plus one who deliberately gave the head away.
It can be seen that the attitude of the saint’s line is that they do not want to offend the treatment hospital, nor do they want to provoke the academics. As long as the goddess is okay, everything else is easy to say, but if the goddess suddenly decides to rise, they will not say anything. To open the entrance of Silent City, Su Xiao took some measures here, and the saint woman's line was willing to pretend to be blind, but she would never kill people.
People from the logistics department arrived soon, and as the middle-aged man with retrospective ability repaired the building, in the afternoon, nothing seemed to have happened.
Sin Yas and Wood left at noon. It is not clear what Wood was going to do, but Sin Yas will deal with the academy this time and take it all on himself, which makes Su Xiao and Wood feel confused.
It's not that Sin Yass can't deal with the academics, but he is worried that Sin Yas has any plans to implement.
One day in the afternoon of the same day, Su Xiao received news from Boubowan that Sin Yas was out of the city and his destination was unknown.
This is even more confusing. If you are dealing with the academy, even if you don't directly compete there, you shouldn't be out of the city.
Considering that Sin Yas has always been doing things like this, he can only wait and see for two days. If it really doesn’t work, he will use the old Yinbei siege tactics, and everyone on his side will end up, to engage in the Stigmata Academy from multiple angles, and arrange it here. Doubt about life so far.
After thinking about this, Su Xiao took Bobowang and Baha upstairs, and when he reached the corridor on the fourth floor, he saw Hughes guarding by a metal door.
After opening the door, the goddess standing in front of the window thinking about life came into view. Su Xiao took off her long leather jacket and threw it to Baha, then rolled up the sleeves of his shirt and took out a leather roll bag. After unfolding, there were more than a dozen inside. A centimeter-long crystal needle, this thing is called the "thorn of mercy."
"You are a goddess, torturing you torture is not in line with the dignity of both you and me. If you can hold five, I will let you go later."
Su Xiao pointed to the bed and motioned to let the goddess lie down on her own, so as not to get caught up, losing the grace and decency of the goddess.
Seeing these battles, the goddess immediately felt her legs soft, as if the soles of her feet were cotton-like. If faced with torture, she could really grit her teeth for the sake of her identity, but faced with such a calm tone, even It was as natural as calling her to eat, but it made her feel cold all over her body.
"You, what do you want to ask, you are asking, I also... I didn't say I didn't say anything."
When the goddess said this, her tone was very aggrieved. She deliberately pretended to be pathetic. Baha had asked many times before how to open the entrance to Silent City, but she had always pretended to be stupid.
"Then eat and talk."
Su Xiao put away the rolls, opened the door, and the dining car was pushed in. After a while, a few delicacies were placed in front of the goddess. Since being yesterday, the goddess has only eaten two pieces of bread. It's hungry.
The chef apprentice who delivered the meal was about to pour a glass, Su Xiao raised his hand to stop, took the wine bottle, he and the goddess sat across a small table, put the wine glass on the table, and poured a glass of red wine.
"Talk about how to open the entrance to Silent City."
Su Xiao pushed the wine glass to the goddess' dinner plate. After the goddess picked it up, she took a sip and said, "Only I can open it."
"..."
Su Xiao stopped speaking. Seeing this, the goddess hurriedly added: "To be precise, something in my body can open the entrance. You just need to take me there."
"What's in your body?"
Su Xiao came to be interested. If something in the goddess's body can really open the entrance to the Silent City, then whether this thing will resonate with the thing in the entrance, if there is resonance, ignore the academic side and directly find the Silent City. Entrance.
"It's my heart. Only my beating heart can open the sealed door. The door was sealed by the academy at the beginning. They know the location. As a restriction, we have the same method to open it."
The goddess did not choose to keep concealing it, but told them all. According to her, the way to open the door is actually not very mysterious. It is to use the resonance of blood. The original saints used all of their secondary blood as the lock of forbidden. Only those who resonate with her blood can temporarily unlock this forbidden lock.
As for the key to the sanctuary that Su Xiao obtained before, it was not used to open this door, but to open an important place inside the Silent City.
At the beginning, the Silent City was sealed and the Healing Church played a leading role. After that, the four departments of the Healing Church, the workshop, the saint’s line, the stigmata academy, and the treatment center, each mastered a key thing, or Secret method.
The workshop originally mastered the secret method of making the refuge stone. However, due to the conflict between the healing church and the steam religion, the workshop had suffered heavy casualties. Not only the craftsman who could make the refuge stone died, it was recorded. The ancient books of the secret method were also damaged, which also led to the fact that no one could recreate the refuge stone with one less stone.
In the introduction to the world, Su Xiao learned about this melee. Because of this melee, the population of Highwall City was reduced by one-third, which shows how tragic it was at the beginning.
Because the workshop was unable to manufacture refuge stones, its position in the healing church had plummeted, and there were even calls for the workshop to be merged into the Stigmata Academy.
The follow-up development of the workshop, which began to develop in the direction of building weapons, defenses, and mechanical artifacts, has become one of the three fathers of the current healing church, and no one can shake it.
Stigmata Academy, that is, the academy, needless to say, the entrance to the Silent City was under their leadership to catch the first-generation saints who were trying to pursue immortality, and sealed them with all of their secondary gods' blood.
Sealing the entrance to the Silent City undoubtedly reduced the tradition of the "chosen" to the past. The entrance to the Silent City was sealed, and even if the "chosen" were selected, they would not be able to enter the Silent City.
Needless to say, the line of the saint, only the direct blood of the first saint can unlock the shackles of the secondary blood.
The last treatment hospital has the key to the sanctuary. It was lost not long ago and is now retrieved. In terms of importance, even if the secret method of the refuge stone, the location of the gate, and the method of opening the door are added together, the degree of importance is also Not worth one percent of the sanctuary key.
how so? More than 80% of the selected people in the past are from the treatment facility. They go deep into the Silent City and must bring the key to the sanctuary. Even if the selected person is ultimately defeated, the treatment facility must retrieve this key at any cost.
The most tragic one was the death of the treatment hospital until only the dean was left. After the dean took the key from the dead city, he died before he could even leave a last word.
After the goddess had finished her lunch, Su Xiao left with confidence, and ordered that she does not need to guard the goddess, as long as she does not leave the treatment hospital compound, she can go anywhere.
In the afternoon, the goddess secretly rescued the four guards in the dungeon. With the help of the guards, they successfully escaped from the treatment hospital.
At 6 o’clock that evening, the goddess with a pale face was sent back to the treatment hospital. After drinking a bottle of relief medicine, her pale face became a little bloody, and then she returned to the room where she was originally detained on the fourth floor. This is it.
Obviously, the goddess became more obedient after experiencing the alchemy chronic poison, even if the four guards persuaded her to escape the treatment hospital, they did not escape.
This made a big fuss about the kidnapping of the goddess in the treatment house, which made the treatment house become the target of several academic instructors, all wearing pain masks.
The several academic instructors were all ready. They were typically full of big moves and were ready to attack the treatment hospital. As a result, the goddess did not leave by herself.
Hearing the news, several tutors immediately sought out another tutor who was good at pharmacy. However, as soon as this tutor entered the gate of the treatment hospital, he was poisoned to foam at the mouth, convulsed all over, was carried away, and everyone arrived. It is still unclear how this pharmacist was poisoned.
Obviously, in the case of the goddess, the academies were hammered down by the treatment center, and their noses and faces were swollen. However, the academies controlled the location of the entrance to the Silent City and continued to drag it down. It was obviously beneficial to them. Maintain the status.
Time passed quietly, and Sin Yas did not come back early the next morning, and there was no news of this guy after he left the city.
There is no news on Sin Yas, but Brother Ghost is back. Not only did he come back on his own, he also...cough, and together with Xiaohuahua, the ancient magic mirror, and the evil spirit in the mirror, he ‘please’ the Beast Master back.
This is unbelievable. You must know that the beast races have always been exclusive, let alone let the prestigious beast masters come to Highwall City, even if they want to step into their territory, they will be besieged.
But Brother Ghost did it. The reason is that when he was not a candidate before his death, his parents were killed by wild beasts and wild beasts, his mother was killed by a member of the wild beast clan, and his father was swallowed by a wild beast. .
This made Ghost Brother extremely hate the orcs and the wild beasts during his peak period and act accordingly. He often went to hunt outside the city. After fifteen years of hunting, the total number of wild beasts decreased by 60%. The clan also lost 70%.
On the bad soil of that era, whether it was a wild beast or a wild beast, after seeing the human race, it must have been screaming, and then turned around and fled. This was all killed by the ghost brother and his expedition team.
In the past, the expedition team met the wild beasts and wild beasts, and would try to avoid it, but in the era when the ghost brother was the captain of the expedition, the expedition team members saw wild beasts or wild beasts, and the first reaction was definitely to pull out their weapons and shout. After the colleagues, they rushed directly.
Right now, Brother Ghost went to ‘visit’ the beast race, and the beast leader personally received him. It seemed calm, but in fact he was still a little flustered.
[Reading books to get cash] Follow the vx public account [Book Friends Base Camp] Reading books can also receive cash!
Brother Ghost gave the beast leader two choices: 1. Let the vice president of the treatment center·Kukulin Baiye visit here, 2. let the master beast go to the high wall city to ensure that the master beast is safe to come and return safely .
Hearing this condition, the leader of the beast pondered for a long time. If the ghost brother is the former killer, then Su Xiao is the living killer of the present age. In the end, the leader of the beast found the master of the clan to exchange and fight in the treatment center. In the name of Dharma experience, go to the treatment hospital.
Now that the Beast Master has arrived in the city, Su Xiao asked Chaman and Marina to pick them up, and told the two not to go directly to the treatment facility, but to drive the Beast Master to the scenic planting area in the south of the city. Arrange lunch over there, and find a beast race in the city to receive the beast master.
This time I invite Master Beast. Su Xiao wants to ask the other party about the method of meditation. If you ask for advice, you must have an attitude of asking. How old ghost negotiated in the early days. Su Xiao doesn’t care about it, and he can’t control it. Now Master Beast has arrived at High Wall City. You have to be entertained.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, inside a farm in Nancheng District, looking around, there are green mountains and green mountains in the distance, surrounded by a large piece of trimmed grass, and a wooden house in the back.
Under a big banyan tree, the crown of the tree blocked the venomous sunlight, Su Xiao sat under the tree, and on the opposite side, was an old wolf, this old wolf is the master of wild beasts.
"President Bai Ye, I heard about you a long time ago, but I didn't expect us to meet each other. The fate is amazing."
The old wolf vomited, and he was draped with the cloth ornaments of the beast race, but these cloth ornaments looked old and looked old.
"About the method of meditation, this is the masterpiece of my life, so..."
Although the Beast Master is here, he is not ready to teach the unique meditation method completely. For this reason, it is ready to be buried here.
Su Xiao took out this ancient book, which was obtained from the Dragon Academy. This ancient book is not purely written, but infused with spiritual power. UU reads www.uukānshu.com with reading, and the ancient books of the Dragon Academy are all like this. , You don’t need to know the type of text in the book, you can still read it fluently.
With the infusion of a small amount of spiritual power, several symbols appeared on the cover of this ancient book, the meaning of which is "The Soul of the Beast". In short, this ancient book is a soul practice method that can be mastered by many beasts.
After receiving the ancient book, the Beast Master also injected spiritual power into it. After a while, it seemed to want to say something, but after looking down at the ancient book in his hand, he sighed. It knew that he could not refuse the deal. It was not someone else. Force, but it cannot refuse it in its own heart.
"President Bai Ye, but I'm talking about the ugly thing before, my method of meditation is based on the basic meditation idea, the advanced method created, so there must be a solid meditation foundation, I think you are so young, if you are basic The mastery of meditation is not reliable, and there is no way to learn my advanced meditation."
The Beast Master spoke with a gentle smile, obviously comforting Su Xiao in advance, even if you can't grasp the advanced meditation idea, don't be discouraged.
"..."
Su Xiao glanced at the "Meditation of the Heart" in the Beast Master's materials, and then glanced at the "Meditation of the Heart" that he had mastered, and said nothing.
